A report on the interlaboratory quantitation of haemoglobin A2 and haemoglobin F.

چکیده
An interlaboratory trial of the quantitation of Hb A(2) and Hb F has been carried out on two samples of blood by 90 laboratories in the British Isles. The results have been compared with those obtained by four reference laboratories. Overall, the correlation was very poor and indicated that the methods used have to be standardized before interlaboratory values become meaningful. Moreover, in many laboratories the level of Hb A(2) in a patient with proven beta thalassaemia was not reported as being increased.

متن کاملThe Relationship between Maternal Haemoglobin and Haematocrit with Low Birth Weight and Preterm Labour
Background & aim: Low levels of maternal haemoglobin and haematocrit in the first, second, and third trimesters are considered as possible risk factors regarding low birth weight (LBW) and preterm labour (PTL). The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between maternal haemoglobin (Hb) and haematocrit (HCT) levels with LBW and PTL. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on...

Aims: To assess the accuracy and precision of measuring haemoglobin A2 by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in the presence and absence of sickle cell trait, with or without a thalassaemia trait. Methods: The haemoglobin A2 percentage and the haemoglobin A2 plus S percentages were determined by HPLC on 82 normal controls and 78 patients with sickle cell trait, respectively; the a th...
